You will admire its impressive architecture, blending Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque influences, as well as the many treasures it houses. This emblematic monument, which has witnessed the passage of emperors, archbishops, and major figures in German history, remains today one of the most prestigious symbols of the Rhine Valley.
